The Paterno family released this statement Wednesday regarding the federal antitrust lawsuit Pennsylvania will file against the NCAA.

As we have not yet had an opportunity to review the lawsuit filed by Governor Corbett today, we cannot comment on the specifics of the litigation. What we do know, however, is that this matter is far from closed. The fact that Governor Corbett now realizes, as do many others, that there was an inexcusable rush to judgment is encouraging.

Joe Paterno's only guidance to us was to seek the truth. Consequently, last July when the Freeh report was released and the subsequent unprecedented and unjustified actions were taken by the Penn State University Board and the NCAA, we stated that we would engage a team of experts to conduct a careful and thoughtful review of the Freeh inquiry and the actions of the Board and the Administration. That process is nearing completion. We expect to release the analysis of the experts in the near future. At that time we will address all of the issues of the past year in a comprehensive manner.

This article was horribly written. Before quickly releasing this to the web, you should really proof read your article.

no one really cares what the Paterno Family thinks, that family has done so much damage to the University and the Commonwealth in general that they should just shut up and take their millions in silence

They should put the remnants of this freeloading family into the same storage shed as that goofy statue!
